At the CherryArts Festival at Stanley, you will have the chance to see hundreds of different works of art from artists using different artistic media techniques. You will also have the chance to meet and interact with the creators themselves.
 
By definition, ceramics are simply pots and other articles made from clay and hardened by heat; however, the ceramics art work you will experience at our show will blow your mind! Be sure to check out the incredible artwork creations of this year's ceramics artists: Sharon Brush (pictured), Marvin Blackmore, Tara Dawley,   Kristin Gruenberger, Gail J.Heilmann  and Rita Vali.

Another artistic medium featured at this year's show is sculpture. "The term sculpture translates to almost any work of art carried out in three dimensions, where a mass of aesthetically inarticulate material has been manipulated into meaningful shape and arrangement by either reductive or additive techniques."

Presenting our sculpture artists: Sean Gillespie (pictured), Cameron Lewis & Reid Grossnickle , C Mavros,   Gedion Nyanhongo, Richard Turner and Eric Carroll and Rene Williams


A favorite medium for many is fiber, ranging from leather handbags to 2D wall art to wearables and more! What makes fiber art? "Art that is created using natural or synthetic fibers or techniques that are traditionally thought of as relating to fiber, such as sewing or weaving."

Our 2016 fiber artists are Kara Taub (pictured), Caroline and Larry Clarke, Myra Burg, Diane Harty, Heather Laurie and Sue Orchant

Like all art, drawing is another infinitely variable medium in and of itself. "Drawing as formal artistic creation might be defined as the primarily linear rendition of objects in the visible world." This year, we are featuring seven drawing artists.
